How to perform?
This exercise involves lying on one side on a bench and using dumbbells to raise your arms out to the side until they are in line with your shoulder. This movement specifically targets the side deltoid and helps to build shoulder strength and stability. The lying position eliminates the use of momentum and requires strict form to maintain proper form and target the desired muscle group.
